I have a video project that is using a whole bunch of dvd files...I installed them through the DVD camcorder feature..now when I try to open the project.it is saying the files are missing and is making me go in file by file to replace them..
its very tedious..than sometimes the files once it opens are of other files..its just bizzare..wondering why this is happening..also is there anyway that once the file is loading that i can click on the time line and replace the file name?

If the files were extracted from the DVD onto the hard drive, once assigned, they should not be forgotten. If you reassign them to a file on the hard drive, that should not be forgotten.

When you go to the Project Media tab, you can right-click any entry there and choose "Replace" to replace that file with another file.
